"I have graded last week's geography examination... and the highest score was achieved by..." Feeny begins to say, before I interrupt him.

"Minkus." I say in a dead-pan voice, while sketching in my sketch book.

"Was it achieved by Minkus? Does it go to Minkus? Minkus, right?" I say in a now sarcastic, annoyed enthusiastic voice while looking up.

"Mr. Minkus." Mr. Feeny says.

"That's a shock." Cory says sarcastically.

"Thank you, Mr. Feeny. Your bonus question was a real stumper." Minkus says.

Shawn throws a crumbles up piece of paper at Minkus.

"Ow." Minkus says.

Mr. Feeny starts passing out our graded exams back.

"Ms. Owens, excellent."

"Mr. Baker, very nice."

"Ms. Morales, Very disappointing, I know you can do better." Feeny and I both say at the same time, except I say it in a mocking voice. I knew he was going to say that, he does every time, and every time I fail. I have no idea why he has faith in me.

I look down, F-, not surprised. 

"Mr. Matthews... Well, there it is." Feeny says.

"A "C"?" Cory says, disappointed. 

"But I actually studied for this test."

I slump in my chair. Man, I wish I could get a C, he should be happy. 

"Why did I get a "C"?" Cory asks Mr.Feeny.

"Let's see... Where to begin."

"Well, for one thing, Mr. Matthews... this section of the map is not East Germany." Feeny says.

"It's not?"

"Perhaps you heard of a little incident... With the Berlin Wall?"

"Was that during baseball season?" Cory asks.

"There is no East Germany anymore." Feeny says.

"But the textbook says it's right next to West Germany."

"Yes, well, the textbook also says that Alaska and Hawaii will make fine states someday."

"Things change, Mr. Matthews. Unfortunately, the Board of Education... doesn't have the funds to keep up."

"Then how am I supposed to keep up?"

"Watch the news, pay attention in class, look at the mimeographs I give you... Before you turn them into paper airplanes." Feeny suggests.
